If You Answered Yes
If you answered yes to one or more questions, are older than age 40, and have been inactive or are concerned about your health, consult a Doctor before substantially increasing your physical activity.
Ask for a medical clearance along with information about specific exercise limitations you may have. In most cases, you will still be able to do any type of activity you want, as long as you adhere to some guidelines provided by your Doctor.
When to Delay an Exercise Program
If you are not feeling well because of a temporary illness, such as a cold or a fever, wait until you feel better to begin exercising.
If you are or may be pregnant, talk with your doctor before you start becoming more active.
If You Answered No
If you answered no to all the PAR-Q questions, you can be reasonably sure that you can exercise safely and have a low risk of having any medical complications from exercise. It is still important to start slowly and increase gradually. It may also be helpful to have a fitness assessment with a personal trainer in order to determine where to begin.
Keep in mind that if your health changes so that you then answer "Yes" to any of the PAR-Q questions, you must tell your Doctor and update Energise Health & Fitness Limited. You may need to change your physical activity routine.
